A newly identified coronavirus called 2019-nCoV (2019 Novel Coronavirus) has been spreading in China, and has now reached multiple other countries. It seems it is just a matter of time before coming to more countries all over the world.

There a lot of products shipping from China and with the spread of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus people are concerned. And it comes to mind, Is It Possible To Catch The 2019 Coronavirus From A Package From China? After all, it is a legitimate question since we all import a ton of products from China. Thankfully, even the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Protection) addressed this issue as well other specialists from the US and worldwide.

“In general, because of poor survivability of these coronaviruses on surfaces, there is likely very very low risk of spread from products or packaging that are shipped over a period of days or weeks at ambient temperatures,” said Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the Center for Disease Control’s Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, in a press briefing.

And what about animals or animal products imported from China? The CDC does not have any evidence to suggest they pose a risk. In any case, the shipment of animals and animal products into the U.S. as well as in most countries is much more strictly regulated than other trades, such as electronics.
